Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp white vinegar
- 1 tsp hot sauce
- 0.25 cup celery, finely diced
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover them with cold water by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for 10 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 5 minutes. This will make them easier to peel.
Peel the eggs, rinse off any shell fragments, and roughly chop them into small chunks.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, white vinegar, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold in the chopped eggs, celery, red onion, and parsley. Mix gently until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. You can add a little more vinegar or hot sauce for extra tanginess.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled on toasted bread, as a filling for sandwiches or wraps, or with crackers as a dip.
